V for Vendetta

Originally serialized in the 1980s and collected by DC in 1990, V for Vendetta is a dystopian political thriller written by Alan Moore with stark, atmospheric art by David Lloyd. Set in a near-future totalitarian Britain, it follows the mysterious masked anarchist known only as "V" as he wages a one-man war against a fascist regime. This seminal work remains a landmark for its unflinching exploration of freedom, fascism, and the power of symbols.
